i just want to ask about my current situation. i'm a live in caregiver and 6 months pregnant. ofcourse my employer is aware of my situation and they're willing to continue my papers even after i have the baby. i only have completed 10 months out of my 24 months contract. im due on the end of january. i just want to know if i can apply for any support from the government even if im still under live in caregiver program? if i can how will it affect my papers? i am really confuse right now and it will mean alot to me if you could help me understand matters about my situation. thank you very much.
6 months preggy and live in caregiver.

Up to when is your WP? Health care card? I think you are entitled to maternity benefits. Hopefully you have somewhere to stay when you have your baby.

It's better to renew your Work PErmit and extend your contract. Because if your work permit will expire that means your health care benefits will expires too. Maternity expenses are so expensive so to make it sure you won't pay for your delivery and check-up costs in the hospitals you should have a valid healthcare card. If your boyfriend won't allow you to work then ask him if he can pay your delivery expenses. Good luck and have a safe pregnancy!
